Hi Cora, I am doing dbt and you are right about the therapist provoking anger and other emotions, but dbt does not take your free spirit away. I hope you are in a group too. I find the group to be fun. Dbt is alot of Zen Buddhism and common sense. Nothing like I thought it would be. My T. scared me at first because she was down right mean. Now when she says 'stupid' things I either ignore her or tell her what I think. The very strange thing is that you can not tell when you are being provoked or when she is just doing therapy.

[ Marsha Linehan took alot of info word for word out of a book called "The Miracle of Mindfulness" by Thich Nhat Hanh.]

Initially the focus is on any harmful [target] behaviors or therapy interfering behaviors one has. If you do not do them [the behaviors] then you can talk about what you want to, or what the T suggests. It can't hurt to try???

You have to do diary cards stating what behaviors you have engaged in and emotions you felt during the week. Also what dbt skills you used. [They are very simple]. terrics
